No time for a scout post but a free bonus post of cars instead. Let u7s look at the cool cars.
First up a hot rod with dual air filters. Bucket T with a Chevy small block?
Next is a 56 Bel Air I missed last time as it had the hood up. That one looks great under the hood.
What is #3? Looks 1940's but I can't find a match to that grill. I like how the headlights are set on the fenders.
Last is a Volkswagen truck with a double cab. Didn't know they did that then. Has the drop down sides. I am thinking there are not a lot of those around.
Rose Bowl Flea Market tomorrow. Hopefully I will find some fine finds.
Can't identify #3 but I agree the lights and grill make it extra cool, might be a custom grill. Nice T bucket, can't see the engine close enough to identify. A good way to identify an old Chevy small block is to look for the rear mounted distributor. If that is a factory cross ram manifold it may be an early Mopar W engine. It may be aftermarket, but it looks good on the rod with the low profile. Love these old cars, thanks for sharing.
PS: I should have said a lack of a rear mounted distributor would eliminate it from being a Chevy small block. There are other rear mounted distributor engines other than Chevy, it's not an exclusive identifier of a Chevy Mouse motor. My bad.
Very cool! I'm lovin' that VW truck in pic #4
Thank you very much for the info Toyrebel. Will looks for that next time.
Thank you very much Scott.
